All supplies used for this project can be found at our Bonney Lake store.

4. Cut the tulle into 24" L strips. Fold the strip in half, then tie them in all the open areas of the wreath.

5. Cut the ribbon into 15" L strips. Tie them where you see fit.

6. Use the scissors to give the wreath a trim if you see areas that are uneven.

To make this into an Easter-themed wreath, tie a small stuffed bunny to the wreath. Avoid gluing it so that you can remove the bunny at any time. Write "Hoppy Easter" using a chalk ink marker on a wooden chalkboard tag and tie it to the top inside of the wreath. If you cannot find a wooden tag, you can create a paper tag or use another item.

7. Give your wreath a good fluffing and proudly display in an area of your home.

Yes the mesh will fray. You can use cheap hairspray on the ends to help the fraying or I have seen in videos people use a spray adhesive on the wreaths after they are done to help with the fraying. The more wreaths you make, the more you will understand the mesh. Also if you use a good quality mesh (not from the dollar store) it will fray less. Good luck with your wreath!!
